The bank has been active in cobalt markets since last year, and has more recently dipped into physical purchases of the metal for the first time, according to people familiar with the matter. The involvement of banks such as Goldman could help bring liquidity to the trading of cobalt, an opaque market where prices are determined privately between buyers and sellers. Carmakers need metals such as lithium and cobalt for batteries, and some source it directly from miners. But they are open to potentially painful price fluctuations. QUOTE
    Market picking up IMO.
